  • If God Is Enough, Who Are You Without Your Resume?
    Feb 9 2026

    Send a text

    We question why middle adulthood feels less free and unlearn the idea that single leaders must prove worth through nonstop achievement. We reframe purpose from output to identity, practice shared leadership, and learn to pray like children who bring God everything without polish.

    • the tension between family-first culture and constant achievement
    • overworking as a single leader and “mothering” projects
    • rebuilding systems that don’t depend on one person
    • making home a place you love to return to
    • roles beyond your job and auditing relational health
    • prayer-shaped priorities and saying no with clarity
    • God as promise, not marriage as guarantee
    • slowing to the season’s “speed limit” to avoid burnout
    • praying like a child and finding peace as a compass
    • shared leadership for sustainable impact

  • Escapism, Burnout, and the Unlearning of Rest as a Single Leader
    Jan 27 2026

    Send us a text

    We dig into the rhythms of rest for single leaders, why “always on” culture masks pride and fear, and how Sabbath realigns identity from performance to presence. We name escapism and avoidance, and we offer practices and people that help you take the cape off.

    • why rest is a command and a gift
    • the loneliness and pressure of single leadership
    • unlearning work-first discipleship in church spaces
    • practicing humility, trust, and partnership with God
    • rest vs escapism vs avoidance explained
    • anxiety, health signals, and nervous system care
    • how to find friends who can hold your “I’m tired”
    • simple Sabbath practices you can start today

    Share it with a friend. Share it with somebody you know. They probably need it as much as you do.

  • Beyond Reasonable Doubt: Building Relationships that Endure (The Second Act)
    Jan 20 2026

    Send us a text

    A faith-filled love story moves from a college class pairing to a covenant tested by recession, a house fire, and an autism diagnosis, and rises into purpose as two attorneys build a family and a firm rooted in prayer. We close our season with gratitude, hard-won clarity, and a living template for a second act.

    • God as matchmaker guiding a campus connection into covenant
    • “Jesus dating” and boundaries that built trust
    • Proposal before dating and why care proved commitment
    • Law school grind, early marriage, first pregnancy
    • Recession, bar exam delays, and choosing family first
    • House fire and autism diagnosis reframing their script
    • Language, prayer, and practical teaching unlocking breakthroughs
    • Maya’s prophetic moments and the arrival of twins
    • Home as sanctuary and kids leading in faith
    • Career redemption, multi-state licensure, and launching the firm
    • Marriage as mutual service and daily anticipation
    • Gratitude as the posture of the second act
